To celebrate Pride, Glott the goblin comes out. #webcomics

The Oak Tree [June 19] It's a Pride Comic! Goblin Pride, baby! (And pillaging but not the kind you're all thinking about, dirty birds. It's wholesome, good ol' fashioned goblin-brand family friendly pillaging.)#webcomics

Time for some goblin philosophy, nerds. #webcomic

It’s funny seeing someone’s photo of Switch 2’s on a shelf at Walmart and using that one anecdote as proof of a recession. Y’all doomsayers know damn well that Nintendo specifically planned to flood shelves and lockdown preorders to deter scalpers.

Bluesky's biggest game development feed is getting monetized by ads and subscriptions. If you prefer browsing #gamedev / #indiedev without ads, I can recommend the second biggest feed by @patrickhenschel.de: bsky.app/profile/did:... And the third biggest, managed by myself: bsky.app/profile/did:...

UK Games Expo's CEO says the event is “now fully on the world stage of ‘mega-cons'” following a slammed 2025 weekend and show floor growth. Rehosted from @boardgamewire.bsky.social with permission.

dear new TTTRPG designers: Charge for your games. They are good enough! It's easy to feel like you're an amateur and no one will be interested if you don't make them free, but don't sell yourself short. Also, you're not just selling YOURSELF short when you do this!

This is important. I get that as a new designer you want your games to simply be Out There. But using the facade of “I’m new” or “I’m not good enough yet to charge people” perpetuates a cycle that pits us against each other along some false societal narrative. Don’t do that to yourself or others.

There’s always someone in a creative community who wants to turn what was an interesting discussion into an argument, then gaslight you during the entire exchange. This is why the magical block feature was invented, a bulwark against assholes.

I love that trick-takers are still a thing in 2025 - that designers are taking a genre that has existed for centuries, with its language of suits & trumps & bids, & they're still finding something new to say with it. So many designers are tweaking norms & parameters to find out what effect it has.

Happy Pride to my fellow queerfolk! I thought I'd show off my first iteration of the box art for Color Space, a #boardgame I'll be selling at the indie market at PAX West. If you're going to PAX this year, drop me a line!

In the exploration of printing in Riso, I made a few digital tests with previous illustrations. This one is in one ink with different intensities. Found a pretty sick print studio in Valencia and am thinking of making something specific for it. #art #illustration

Crust, get ya Monthly Crust here! Time for my monthly newsletter where I shill, ahem, share all of the creative junk I've been brewing! #boardgames #writingcommunity #webcomics

practicing some painting :] #art #birdart #bird #peregrine #falcon

I thought Padme dying after childbirth was a commentary on natal healthcare in the US but my friends keep telling me that it’s actually bad writing from a stupid poopy head surrounded by yes men.

The Oak Tree is back after a short hiatus. It's about goblins now, okay? It's just about goblins. Two goblins. Let me explain why I decided to change the characters from a cat and dog to these two goblins: I wanted to. #webcomics

New Oak Tree, it’s GOBLIN time

The Oak Tree #18 Foes vanquished, now it's time for some goblin R&R and H-t-H (heart to heart). #webcomics #webcomic #comics #comic

The creators of Myst series (@cyan.com) saved hundreds of video tapes from the making of their iconic adventure game franchose. We helped preserve them. Here's what we found.

Went to the last day of Folklife today at the Seattle Center. Saw some dancing. Heard some music. Ate some curly fries. Pretty good day.

Saw Eddie Izzard’s one woman show of Hamlet last night. It was a great experience, highly recommend. Izzard does Hamlet right, as a tragedy. Although a guy behind me didn’t understand and kept laughing at serious parts…like when Laertes is told that his sister, Ophelia, has drowned herself.

I can't believe that Dot Com won the Cardboard Edison Award, it's a huge honor!! Massive thanks to the judging team for all their hard work and feedback, and to everyone who playtested the game. I hope to play all the finalists' games at some point, they all look super fun :)

BIO•Diversity Day🌿💚

App-assisted, real-time board game Dot Com wins this year’s Cardboard Edison Award, which celebrates the best in unpublished designs: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20... Congrats to @salkind.bsky.social, and to all the finalists including @thejaybell.bsky.social @jeffgrisenthwaite.bsky.social 🏆

Hypatia of Alexandria. Working on the art for a 2nd edition of Nine Muses. This is a quick study, not art going in the game, but I’m proud of this. I’m practicing for a fresco look. #boardgames #art

I'm taking a couple of weeks off of the Oak Tree to figure some things out. And to enjoy my birthday time. When it comes back, expect it to be shorter (5 panels) and more...goblin-y. #comic #comics #webcomic #webcomics

This might sound arrogant, narcissistic, and downright ignorant but I truly believe that I am one of the writers of all time. Of all time!

The Oak Tree Let's play a game I made, it's called I Win, You Lose. #comic #comics #webcomic #webcomics
